Labeled as a dark comedy, Taylor Mac’s script of Hir is, in reality, a family drama in disguise. That isn’t clear at first, mainly because much of the running time is taken up by hilariously funny dialogue in Cygnet Theatre’s production.
Conductor Michael Gerdes and the San Diego State University Symphony Orchestra offered the premiere of Joseph Martin Waters’ alto saxophone concerto “Tathata Garden,” written for the work’s virtuoso soloist Todd Rewoldt, on October 13 in the university’s Don Powell Theatre.
A significant advantage of conductor Edo de Waart’s frequent guest appearances with the San Diego Symphony is the array of new music he brings to Copley Symphony Hall.

The curtain will go up on San Diego Opera’s production of “The Marriage of Figaro” on Saturday, October 20, 2018, at 7:00 p.m. in the San Diego Civic Theatre. Stage director Stephen Lawless gives his take on the politics and social criticism in Mozart’s beloved opera.
